  • Publication number: 20230041136
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for sensing target molecules in an analyte solution, a sensor for sensing target molecules in an analyte solution and a measurement system for sensing target molecules in an analyte solution. The method comprises providing a capture surface, wherein a plurality of capture molecules are arranged on the capture surface, each of the capture molecules being configured to bind to at least one of said target molecules. The method further comprises exposing the capture surface to the analyte solution to allow target molecules to bind to the capture molecules arranged on the capture surface.

  • Patent number: 10739298
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a device for the electrochemical detection of molecules by way of redox cycling, to a device therefor, and to the use thereof. A porous dielectric layer is present between two electrode layers, which is able to receive redox-active molecules and may be biofunctionalized. The individual layers are preferably applied by way of an ink jet printing method.

  • Patent number: 10593762
    Abstract: Transferring graphene pieces onto a substrate, by the following steps: a) selecting a substrate comprising a plurality of placeholders for the graphene pieces; b) disposing and aligning the substrate on a substrate holder in a chamber; c) selecting a transfer layer having openings as placeholders for the graphene pieces; d) disposing and aligning the transfer layer on the substrate holder over the substrate so that the openings of the transfer layer are aligned over the placeholders on the substrate; e) adding liquid to the chamber to above the transfer layer, and raising the transfer layer on the liquid column; f) introducing graphene pieces onto the liquid film in the openings of the transfer layer; and g) reducing the distance between the substrate and the graphene pieces until the graphene pieces are disposed on the placeholders of the substrate. A substrate and a device for carrying out the method.

  • Publication number: 20180207934
    Abstract: An inkjet printing method includes directing a printhead of an inkjet printer towards a substrate to be printed, generating ink drops in the printhead of the inkjet printer, and directing the ink drops, after they have been discharged from the nozzle of the printhead, into a zone with a locally increased temperature in such a way that the volume of the drops is actively reduced during the phase of flight to the substrate.
